Shoppers have been raving about how comfortable the boots are, with one review saying: \u201cReally comfortable, I do over 10,000 steps a day for work, and these boots are so good. I wore them brand new, there was no need to do a \u2018breaking into\u2019 new shoes ritual to avoid blisters etc. Happy to buy these boots in various colours if they decide to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A second happy shopper wrote: \u201cThe reviews are correct. Soft, comfy & look great but go a size down,\u201d whilst a third said: \u201cBought the cream colour, more summery! As others have said, comfortable from the word go and best to order half a size down. I have been wearing mainly with dresses. Several people have asked where I got them and amazed at the price.\u201d<\/p>\n
